G
The life that I'm seeking
                             D7
Is not in this bar where I'm sitting
 
But it sure ain't at home 
                                     G
Where the one that I'm married to is knitting
 
 
Happiness may not be here drinking beer 
                    C
Feeling it go to my head
                                      G
But it ain't back at home where she's putting in curlers
    D7                       G
And rollers and dressing for bed
 
 
What I'm looking for ain't 
                               D7
The blonde in the corner who's winking
 
But it sure ain't my wife 
                               G
Who's devoted her life to dumb thinking
 
 
Happiness surely still lives in this world 
                               C
And somewhere it's waiting for me
                               G
And I know that it must be somewhere 
                 D7                    G
Between lust and sitting home watching TV
 
C
Somewhere between Playboy magazine 
    G
And next Tuesday night's PTA
C
Somewhere between a honky tonk queen 
    G                    D7
And what all the dog did today
 
G
If a wife and a lover could be one and the same 
       C                          G
What a beautiful world this would be
    C                     G
And there would be us somewhere between lust 
    D7                    G
And sitting home watching TV
 
 
My wife's a good cook 
                              D7
But a man can't exist just on bread
 
But what I'm hungry for 
                                    G
Is the one thing that I ain't being fed
 
 
I haven't been shopping but there's lots of bargains 
                              C
Walking through town tempting me
                           G
And a body could rust on a diet of lust 
    D7                    G
And sitting home watching TV
 
C
Somewhere between Playboy magazine 
    G
And next Tuesday night's PTA
C
Somewhere between a honky tonk queen 
    G                    D7
And what all the dog did today
 
G
If a wife and a lover could be one and the same 
       C                          G
What a beautiful world this would be
    C                     G
And there would be us somewhere between lust 
    D7                    G
And sitting home watching TV
